India’s Mid-day Meal Scheme (MDMS), which delivers cooked meals every school day to 115+ million students across India is one of the largest such schemes in the world. Sponsored by the Government of India, the scheme feeds all children who study in classes 1-8 in government and government-aided schools in India (including the Madrasas and Maqtabs supported under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan).
With a central budget allocation of 1.47 Billion USD, Mid-day Meal Scheme ensures that every child studying in class 1-5 gets 450 calories of food intake every day. This includes at least 12 grams of protein. For children studying in classes 6-8, the figure is 700 calories per child per day including a minimum of 20 grams of protein. Is that a truthful stride?
Food is basic. Children need nutrition. All of it. Make an impact.
We are providing ambitious supplementary nutrition to the school-going children in the state of Jharkhand involving all the tribal/rural communities in villages and semi-urban areas. The nutrition project under Project Santushti ensures that a large number of children in India get their daily required food intake and all the essential nutrients for growth and development.
